Glenn: Kanye West is experiencing a mental health BREAKDOWN

Kanye West is a ‘lost soul,’ Glenn says. But that doesn’t excuse or explain away the horrible things he’s said recently about the Holocaust and Jewish people. Ye is likely in the midst of a mental health breakdown, what he’s saying is INSANE, and the beliefs he has recently expressed are BEYOND wrong. But, Glenn says, Jesus would still give him compassion — even if that’s something WE feel unable to do ourselves…

GLENN: Kanye.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Can we just begin this with, this -- what you're watching is somebody who is bipolar, and on an extreme crazy high.

STU: You go through manic states when -- I've had relatives that have gone through this.

GLENN: Yes. And it is -- it's dangerous.

STU: You have manic states, where you believe all sorts of crazy things.

GLENN: And believe it to your core.

STU: Core. For weeks. And then you change.

GLENN: It's bad.

STU: This is full-fledged mental health crisis you're watching, in action.

GLENN: It is. And that's the first thing everybody should be saying on this. That's not what they're doing. Because they'll play politics and everything else. But we should have great compassion. And point it out to our relatives. That's what mental illness looks like. No. He's just a bigot. That's what mental illness looks like.

STU: Now, he's also a bigot. And that's also true.

GLENN: Yeah. I think I'm going to have to go there, at least at this time.

STU: Yeah. Would I be completely stunned. If he goes somewhere, gets on some medication, starts to feel better, and say, oh, my God. I can't believe I said that stuff. Yeah, sure, that's possible. Whether that's true or not, it's impossible to know. The bottom line is once you cross lines he has been crossing.

GLENN: Oh, yesterday. Was kind of the end -- the end of career. I mean, this one -- this one is it. This is it.

STU: It's hard -- I mean, is there another place to go. Once you start saying, I like Hitler, you kind of don't necessarily --

GLENN: When you're on Infowars with Alex Jones and Alex is like, whoa. Whoa. That's crazy.

STU: That's the best I've ever seen Alex Jones look. He was by far the most sane person in the room.

GLENN: He looked like Barack Obama in that room. It was crazy.

STU: It was a weird moment.

GLENN: Weird moment.

STU: We have, I know some of the audio we can play. If you haven't heard it yet, it's a little muffled because he's got a mask over his face.

GLENN: Okay. Again, mental illness.

STU: Yeah, not a COVID mask. But like, if you were to put a winter hat and pull it all the way down to your neck, that's basically what it looked like.

GLENN: If you're wearing a hoodie, backwards.

STU: Yes. Backwards.

GLENN: That's what it looked like. I think Kanye could eventually come out and go, that wasn't me.

STU: Right. I honestly wondered, is this his theory here? He's going to say all this stuff, and people are going to blame him, and say, that wasn't even me, I swear.

GLENN: Yeah. Well, and here he is, yesterday: I like Hitler. Cut four.

KANYE: I -- I like Hitler.

ALEX: I don't like Hitler. I know you're trying to be shocking with that.

KANYE: I'm not trying to be shocking. I like Hitler. I -- the Holocaust is not what happened. Let's look at the facts of that. And Hitler has a lot of redeeming qualities.

GLENN: Okay. Stop for a second. Okay. Let's just take that apart for a -- I know there's more. We'll get back to that. I like Hitler. The Holocaust never happened. Okay? Done.

STU: Oh, done.

GLENN: Done. With anyone who is sane. Anyone -- eh, he didn't kill 6 million. Oh, okay. Okay. Thank you. Buh-bye.

STU: He does say that, that they didn't kill 6 million.

GLENN: Right. Yeah. I know. We've got it.

STU: Once you get there.

GLENN: For me, that's the point that I say, excuse me. Could you just go deeper to that? And then I excuse him from the studio. Okay? I mean, that's the ravings of an absolute madman.

STU: Yeah. Now, look, there are millions of people who believe this. Followers of Louis Farrakhan. Followers of black Israelite ideology. There are a lot of people out there. And many of them seem to be congregated in the celebrity culture. With athletes, singers, comedians. There's -- there's a real underlying problem here. That Kanye is just at the tip of. Put he's the only one going that far, saying this stuff.

GLENN: And I prefer knowing. I'm glad he said that, because I'm like, okay. Okay. I'm not in the same boat as him.

STU: I'm glad knowing.

Because, normally, I would say -- if you want to put on somebody who will talk like this, I want to know who they are. So I don't necessarily want their voices censored. From the perspective of, I want to know exactly who they are.

GLENN: Me too.

STU: That being said, the only thing I have here that is a moderation aspect of this. The mental health aspect of this. This guy is completely bonkers.

GLENN: Exactly right.

STU: And, by the way, can we at least point out, we've been saying he was bonkers for a long time. Go back to our show of 2005, when we were talking about Kanye West, George W. Bush doesn't care about black people. He's been insane. Insane. Every day, including the days he put on a red hat. All the days until now.

GLENN: Yeah. Even the days we liked him and said, I think this is a real spiritual awakening. I think this is good. However, let's not all get on to the, he's the greatest guy ever. He's nuts. He's nuts.

STU: I didn't go as far as many did, as far as embracing him. I never did.

GLENN: No. You were always like, this guy is insane.

STU: However, I will say, I was rooting for his Christian conversion to be real. I always will root for that, no matter what the situation is.

GLENN: And to be honest, I think it is real.

STU: Because he says it, Hitler is born a Christian.

That's not the resume. We don't put that on the resume for Christians. We skip that completely.

And, by the way, he was not a Christian. He was not a Christian. I won't go into the whole history here. He absolutely was not a real Christian.

He absolutely hated Christianity. He wanted to destroy it.

Okay. So now, let me just say, you can, in an adult conversation with -- with an intellectual and highly spiritual bent, you could sit in a room with a few people and say, let's talk about Adolf Hitler. Okay?

Bad guy killed millions of people. Holocaust was real. Absolutely anti-Semite. He was -- he was most likely clinical insane by the end.

Really bad guy. However, if you're God, do you want -- do you hate him, or do you say, here is a soul that went so awry? If you're God, not me. Okay. If you're God. You know Jesus would look at Hitler, I think and say, forgive him, Father, he knows not what he does.

Now, I'm not Jesus. So I don't do that. But that's probably --

STU: No. Right.

GLENN: But that's the discussion you have philosophically, you know in a -- not on the Alex Jones show wearing a mask. Let's just say that.

STU: No?

GLENN: I'm just saying.

STU: You can go back even to that time, when he was doing these things actively and was alive doing them, and you can find spiritual leaders who will say things like that. Right? I'm sure if you went to Gandhi, he would be like, look, he's a lost soul. We can all feel that way.

GLENN: Yes. Mother Teresa absolutely would have said that. He's a lost soul.

STU: And he is a lost soul. But he did also much worse than just that.

GLENN: But Mother Teresa would not have said, you can't say out loud, this person never did in any good.

Okay. Maybe, Mother Teresa. Maybe. Maybe. I'm done with the classifications. Yes, she would have said that. Every human being has something of value. Yes. I agree. But she definitely would not have said, especially Hitler.

STU: Especially. If you were to single him out for all his positives.

GLENN: For all the positives he brought to the table. No, I don't think especially Hitler. No. Continue on. Because there's more

KANYE: I got to watch my accounts because they've been frozen by Jewish banks.

GLENN: Okay. Stop for just a second.

Yeah. I'm going to have to say, crazy. Okay?

STU: Yes, he's completely crazy, and it's worse than that.

It's not just a lunatic raving things in the streets. At some level, these views are something he's obviously entertained before. This is not day one of this theory.

GLENN: No, no, no.

I think this is -- I really -- here's my guess: He got into Christianity. It was new to him. He got all you know revved up. And really was on the right track. This is my guess.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: But then you introduce mental illness with that, and then his love for shock, plus his -- his -- the fact that he's being abandoned by all friends and everything else, and he's a huge superstar with lots of money, grifters come in, crazy people come in, and start to say, you know what, I'm with you on Jesus. And, you know what, and Jesus was a black man. And he was not a Jew. He didn't like Jews.

And you can see with the mental illness, you can see him go down this road with really bad people surrounding him. Not to this degree. But I've had friends -- I think we've all had friends. When you're surrounded by the wrong people and it is really to happen, when you have fame and fortune, especially at his level. That you can start hanging with the wrong people. And also, with religion.

Religion and this goes to the religion of global warming and everything else.

Look at how many of our friends have started to accept Marxism or celebrate your abortion. Because they got wrapped up with the wrong friends, that it wasn't obvious to them, that they were the wrong friends. You're like, stop buying this, you're drinking the Kool-Aid. What you're drinking is very dangerous. No, it's want. And all of a sudden, they're saying, celebrate your abortion. Dude, what are you talking about? I'm for the drag queens in story hour for the little kids. What have you become? We are living at a time where the world is mentally ill. And then people who are clinically diagnosed as mentally ill, are in real trouble.

STU: Which he has been, multiple times. And obviously has not been treated for it. Look, we can sit here and do this thing, where you look for the best possible, you know, scenario here, to explain his behavior.

GLENN: Yeah. But I'm not explaining the way.

STU: Believe me, you literally won the defender of Israel award. I know you're not trying to explain it in any way.

Mental health is really, really significant. When people get into these types of moments, they believe things. They believe they're in touch with the president. Of course, this guy actually is.

GLENN: You know what, on this one, I feel bad for Donald Trump.

Because Donald Trump, you get a call from Kanye West, and he says, I'm going to be in town, I want to just come by, talk to you about something for dinner.

I would have said, okay. Okay? If Kanye West called me and said, and just -- I want to talk to you about something.

STU: Not now, or any time recently. But I mean, back in the day, sure.

GLENN: No, I think in the last few weeks, I would have.

STU: I wouldn't have. He's been saying these things for weeks. Before he came out as an anti-Semite, sure. But previous to that, no. I mean, after that, no.

GLENN: I would have come out and said, I understand, to some degree, mental illness. Okay? Runs in my family like a pack of wild elephants. Believe me.
(laughter)
And so I think I would have said, I want to see for myself, and I want to see if I could help. I also appreciate his Christianity. But I think he is -- I think he's lost right now.

STU: Well.

GLENN: I would have sat down with him.

STU: You're more of a man than I am.

GLENN: And listened to him.

Not now. Not now. But if Donald Trump gets a call, hey, I'm coming. I want to talk to you, can we have dinner? He says yes. Now, Trump is also thinking, get this guy out of the election in 2024, because we don't want any votes being wasted.

So he has dinner with him, he doesn't know what that is all about. And he immediately comes out and says, whoa. Real trouble.

STU: Yeah. I mean, the media tried to make that into a Trump issue.

GLENN: It's not.

STU: Understand how that gets out of control. And they -- look, they came out. The Kanye campaign for what it was. Came out and told everybody that the reason they did it was to take advantage of Donald Trump. Like, that was legitimately their goal. At least their stated goal.

Now, whether you can believe any of these people, associated with it, I don't know.

But that was their stated goal, was to hurt Donald Trump. So, again, I think Trump thing is a total. That's a media sideshow when it comes to something. When it comes to the easy parts. It's, the Holocaust happened. This is not difficult. I don't know why so many athletes. So many celebrities, have trouble with this.

This occurred. It's really, really bad. And it occurred.

And the fact that you can't, after all of this time, request all the evidence, that you can't sit back and understand it, and you deny it to this day, is incredibly disturbing. And it's not just Kanye. We've seen this happen with celebrities and athletes, routinely over the past few years.

GLENN: Oh, I know. And there are not just white supremacists. There are black supremacists as well.

STU: Kyrie Irving is white, as far as I know. Y, yeah. There is something on both cultures, at a turn the fringes into madmen.

STU: And let's not forget. You want to talk about a person that is a Holocaust tenure. And anti-Semite. That leaves millions of people. I also can show you a photo of Barack Obama. Louis Farrakhan. You can find tons of people in Congress, who met with this guy publicly.

The Dark Truth Behind Queer Theory & Gender ‘Affirmation’ For Children | Liz Wheeler & Glenn Beck

In this explosive conversation, Glenn Beck and Liz Wheeler expose the disturbing roots of gender ideology and queer theory — and how these radical ideas are directly targeting children. From the shocking origins of queer theory, where pedophilia and child pornography were openly defended, to Planned Parenthood’s new role as one of the largest distributors of transgender hormone therapy, the truth is undeniable: this movement is not about freedom or equality, but about dismantling families, corrupting innocence, and profiting off of our children’s pain. What we are witnessing is nothing less than a satanic ideology dressed up as compassion — and it’s spreading like wildfire through schools, culture, and medicine. Parents, you need to hear this. The time to protect your children and fight back is NOW.

Here’s how INTENSE JFK’s Presidential Fitness Test was

President Trump recently signed an executive order to reinstate the Presidential Fitness Test and the media is in a frenzy. But Glenn and Stu look back at the history of these tests, including JFK’s version of the Test that seems IMPOSSIBLE for modern Americans. But Glenn has a secret reason for why he’s confident in his pull-up abilities…

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: What is the -- what is the new physical -- the president's physical fitness, you know, plan?

STU: Well, the thing that RFK Jr and Hegseth were rolling out the other day. I don't know if it was the full test or anything, but they were issuing a challenge to America, to be able to do 100 pushups and 50 pullups within five minutes.

GLENN: That's crazy.

STU: Thank you! That struck you as also crazy.

I don't think there's ever been a time in my life, that I could do that. Let alone now with shoulder problems. And much too much weight.

GLENN: All right. But that was before I needed this walker.

STU: I don't think there was a time in my 20s or my teens, that I could do that. But that -- in five minutes? Fifty pullups?
GLENN: Both of them in 5 minutes.
STU: Yeah, both of them. So it's not like 100 pushups in five minutes. It's both tasks within five minutes.

GLENN: No. No. That's not true.

STU: RFK Jr. is just doing it in jeans.

GLENN: Yeah, well, RFK, he's -- he's a weirdo. I mean, he is. Come on. When it comes to fitness, he's a weirdo.
STU: Yes.
GLENN: I mean, he's done this his whole life. He's like 800 years old. He can still do it.

STU: Yes. Depressive, I will say.

GLENN: I don't know. He's a sex machine.

STU: Oh. That's been a problem for him. Yes, that's been an issue in his life. Yes.

GLENN: Okay. All right. Go ahead.

STU: Separate from the president's physical fitness test.

GLENN: Right.

STU: But, I mean, they don't, they don't really think we're going to do that, right?
Like, I mean, how long would that take you to do?

STU: I think for me, it would take a good month. I think a month, I could probably get two pullups a day. That would get me around, a little over 50. So I could do that. Plus, the pushups. A solid month, I could get that done.

GLENN: You could do more than two a day. You could do more than two a day.

STU: You know, Glenn, I've got to say. I think -- I will throw a number out there. No science behind this, so just as a guestimate.

I would say 40 percent of the population can't do any pullups. Maybe 30 percent. Thirty percent of the population can do exactly zero pullups. Precisely zero, so an infinite amount of time would be a correct answer for a third of the population.

GLENN: I think you're -- I think you're being -- I think you're being a little too optimistic. I think it's closer to 40 or 50. I think it's closer to 40 or 50. Maybe 60 percent.

STU: Right! Pushups are one thing. I mean, I think almost anyone can do a pushup. One --

GLENN: You can do a pushup. Yes. Yes.

STU: Singular pushup. And if you can do one, you can wait long enough, to do a second one.
And at some point, the hundred gets done. That's not the case with pullups. Pullups, you can sit there and think about how much you want to do a pullup for a really long time. But that doesn't make a pullup happen. If you've got a certain amount of weight on you. You're not doing a pullup. It's not occurring.

GLENN: I have no idea, how many pullups I can do.

STU: I have an exact number of pullups, you can do.

GLENN: Do you? You think so?

STU: Yeah. Yeah. I have the exact number. I have to calculate -- AI has been running a report on me. It came up with zero.

GLENN: Right. Right. Really?
I can do. I mean, this is so pathetic. Listen to this. I bet I could do three. You know, you could do three.

STU: In a row? Proper form.

GLENN: What do you mean in a row?

STU: I mean, holding on to the bar, without letting go, you're doing three. There's no way. I don't think so.

GLENN: I think I could do. Well, with proper form, I don't know about that. I don't know about that.

STU: I'm not saying it has to look pretty. You have to get your chin up above the bar. It can't be one of those things, where you're a quarter of the way up there.

GLENN: So I can do one and rest for ten minutes. I could do another one.

I think I can do that.

STU: If you -- I'm not saying, you jump up, and you pull yourself up as you're pulling up. Full hang --

GLENN: See, you may not know this.

But you know what, I've done the DNA test. Have you ever done the DNA test that tells you all about your genes and everything else? Mine came back with something remarkable, and I have to share. You might feel bad, next.

STU: Coming up next, Glenn attempts live pullups on the air. Stay tuned!
(OUT AT 8:29 AM)

GLENN: You know no idea what who you're dealing with. No. You don't have any idea who you're dealing with here.

I got my DNA test back like 10 years ago. And we all -- we all took it, because we were looking for things. And so we all took it. My DNA test came back, and everybody in the family, their test made total sense. Like, oh, yeah. That makes...

Then we read mine. We have to find -- I have to find. See if Tania has it still. We should have had it framed. I swear to you, they -- they mixed me up with somebody else.

Somebody else is like, wait a minute. I'm this pathetic? Mine came out and said, you have the muscular structure of a -- of a -- something like a -- an elite athlete. You have the abilities and agility and everything else of an elite athlete. And I'm like, there's not a chance. I don't have any of that!

I don't even know if I have muscles. I have to check once in a while, and go, do I have muscles still?

Doctor is like, I don't know. Can I? Ask just press against my hand on the leg. I don't know.

You know, I don't know how to do that exactly. So --

STU: You sure it said elite athlete and not elephant? I mean, if they misspelled it.

GLENN: It was.

I was having eye problems at the time.

STU: No!

GLENN: I mean, we read it. And I was like Tania, I believe that for Tania.

Maybe they switched me and Tania. Because Tania is really strong. She'll kick your butt.

She works out every day. All of that. Me? Never. Never.

And it kind of makes me wonder, when I get to the other side, and the Lord went, okay.

So what did you do with your life again?

Because I gave this incredible body, and you wasted it the whole time.

And I'm like, you should have been more clear, okay?

You should have been more clear. I -- maybe I could have played basketball. But I tried once. And it was embarrassing. It was embarrassing. It was like sixth grade. And I'll never live -- I don't even want to think about my time on a basketball court. Okay? So don't -- don't start with me. You should have made it a little clearer. When I first started to do stuff. And I think that's fair. I think that's a fair argument. In my defense. In my defense, Your Honor, God, you should have made it a little more clear.

STU: Yeah. I mean, if they really wanted us to do this, then the 11th Commandment is 50 pushups, and -- or, 50 pullups and 100 pushups, right?

Like, put it in a commandment if you really want us to do it. You have to be more specific, we're Americans.

GLENN: Okay. So let me give you the top of the list for the JFK Presidential Fitness Test. Okay? This is what you had to do in high school. In high school.

Thirty-four pullups. Bar dips: Fifty-two. What's -- because I believe I did that. A long time. And I don't recommend it.

STU: It's not a barhop.

GLENN: Oh, it's -- oh, bar dips. Okay. Okay. All right.

Bar dips: 52. Handstand pushups: Fifty. What are handstands?

STU: Oh, my God. Handstands.

GLENN: I can't even stand on my hands. Is that I'm doing a handstand and a push up? Because that's not happening. You're not human.

STU: Yeah. You're balancing yourself on your hands. Your feet are above your hands on the wall. Like a wall. And you're doing --

GLENN: Oh, so you're balancing yourself. That makes it a little easier. Still impossible.

But a little easier.

GLENN: Impossible. You could do precisely zero of those.

Aright. So you had to do 50 handstand pushups.

Or one arm -- 30 -- no, sir.

Twenty-six one-arm burpees in 30 seconds. Is that a one-armed push up?

STU: No. Well, you're bracing your yourself like you're about to begin a pushup in a burpee with only one arm, which that's not that difficult.

But then you're doing. Then you're like, you move your feet towards your hands. And then you jump up in the air basically. And then you do it repeatedly.

GLENN: No, no, no. That's ridiculous. No.

STU: There's a law of gravity. You're not supposed to violate it. If it was a recommendation of gravity, then maybe jumping would be appropriate. But it's not. Follow the law.

GLENN: In 48 seconds, you had to do a 3300-yard shuttle. Now, I've been to the airport. I think I've done a 3300-yard shuttle, but it depends on who is driving. You know.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Rope climb. Try this. Rope climb. Twenty feet, hands only! Sit start.

STU: That's what I remember from the president's physical fitness test. And I remember looking at that rope, like, no chance I could get up that thing.

GLENN: I remember looking up at that thing. Humiliation. Humiliation is coming my way. I'll never kiss a girl, because that ain't happening. I'll get maybe 10 feet up. Maybe. Maybe.

STU: And you were right for 24 years from that time, approximately.

GLENN: Agility run, 17 seconds. Extension pressups, what? What?

I'm sorry. Why am I so tired reading this?

Extension pressups. What's an extension pressup, 8-inch? You had to do 100 of them.

STU: Let's see. Exercise. An exercise for low-back pain involving lying on your stomach and pressing your upper body up with your arms while keeping your hips relaxed and down on the mat.

GLENN: Oh, I could do that know. 8 inches.

STU: The last part of it, relaxing down on the mat.
GLENN: That's what my doctor says I should be doing. What?

STU: I can do relaxed and down on the mat. That part of it --

GLENN: Yeah. I could do that -- I'm the only guy. I took yoga for a while, like three weeks. My wife is like, yoga. You could do yoga. Let's just do yoga together.

I did. And the yoga instructor said to me. Because we were doing a plank.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: And she came and all I remember her waking me up. And saying, I think you're the only person I've ever -- ever taught that fell asleep in yoga. And I'm like, it's just so relaxing. Just let me sleep. Let me sleep.

STU: That's interesting, that you did yoga. Is there any footage of that? Any video that we could post? That would be good for --

GLENN: No. There's not. You had to do pegboard. Five trips of pegboard. And I think that's when you have the two pegs.

STU: Yes, it was a board.

GLENN: You have to take it out, and put it up, right?

STU: This is American Ninja Warrior. No way.

GLENN: There's no way. There's no way.

STU: This is amazing.

GLENN: Try this one: You had to do a 45-second handstand. I've never been able to do a handstand. Never!

STU: Never.

GLENN: And I'm an elite athlete. I'm an elite athlete. Try this one: A man carry, 5 miles.

STU: What? What do you mean a --

GLENN: Five-mile man carry.

STU: Is a man carry as obvious as it --

GLENN: I think it is.

STU: You're carrying --

GLENN: If I'm going to carry that man, you have to carry me that man for five miles.

I'm not sure, I can't carry any man for any miles. I mean, if I am -- if I am a firefighter, count on burning in the house. You're going to burn in the house. Because I can't carry you out. I can get in there and go, yeah, I will have to leave you.
I will have to leave you here. I can't help you, sorry.

It's also getting really hot in here. I have to go. You had to do a five-mile jog. An obstacle course.

You had to swim prone for a mile. You had to swim underwater for 50 yards, any strokes, two minutes. Deep waterfront, hang float, with arms. What? What is a deep water hang float with arms. Wait. Wait.

It's a deep waterfront hang float with arms and ankles tied for six minutes.

What kind of al-Qaeda PE class was this?

STU: Who has access to -- who has access -- like, you're in the middle of the country, you may not have a deep water body nearby. This is -- are you sure this is an actual test?

GLENN: This is the actual test. This is the actual -- what is a deep water front hang float with arms and ankles tied for six minutes? Can you look that up?

STU: A deep water hang float is an aquatic hang float done in the deep end of a pool with the aid of flotation device, such as a noodle or belt.

In this position, the flotation twice supports your upper body, while your legs and torso hang freely beneath you.

That can't be what it is.

GLENN: You can do that.

Deep-end of the pool.

STU: Can you bring a margarita?

GLENN: Man, this test is no big deal.

What! No way. No way!

Here's the last thing on the test.

A vertical tread in an 8-foot circle for two hours!

No way.

STU: Vertical tread in an 8-foot circle?

GLENN: So you're in the water and you're treading water in a circle for two hours. Two!

STU: This is not -- what?

This is not the test.

GLENN: It is. Now, I told you, this is the top of the test.

This is the top of the test.

So this is for the ones who could do all the other tests.

This was the top of the test. The bottom of the test is not that much better. Here's the entry, okay? Let's see. Pullups, 2/6/10. I don't know what that means. Pushups, 16, 24, 32. Bar dips, four, eight, and 12. Situps, 30, 45, and 60. Broad jump, 6-foot, 6, 6, 6. And 6, 9.

To jump 6 feet? I don't even know if --

STU: That one is possible, yes. Glenn, I know it sounds incredible. But, yes. That one is possible.

GLENN: Sounds incredible. You know, I think we should have the average person Olympics. I really do. I really do.

STU: Oh, I would watch that.

GLENN: I would watch that every time.

You see them coming. And you're like, hmm. That one -- three feet. I'm giving him 3 feet. 200-yard shuttle. Agility run. Rope climb, 18 feet, hands only. 880 yards in three minutes. A mile in seven minutes. Pegboard, six holes. A 50-yard swim. Forty -- 40, 50-yard swim in 36 seconds. Man carry, 880 yards. No, thank you! No, thank you!

Look at -- look at what we've gone down. That's the bottom of it. And I don't think most Americans could do that.

I couldn't. Well, I could. Because I'm an elite -- I have the body of an elite athlete.

STU: No. You could not. Now, of course -- let's just say, this is supposed to be for a high school kid. Right?

So this is the prime of your athletic life. Could you do some of these things? Probably.
GLENN: Go into high school.
Go into any high school, and ask them to do this. There's no way. And all of the kids would be.

STU: Well, that's kind of what the reaction would be.

GLENN: Don't get me wrong. I would have been there too. And my parents would have said, suck it up. Just do it.

So nothing has really changed.

STU: That's been the reaction to this proposal too, of bringing this back. Right? The media is covering this. Like, it's going to embarrass children.

You know, I mean, I do remember it being like, I can't do that. I'm not going to the top of that rope. That's not happening.

That's sort of life. Right? Sometimes you can do things. Sometimes you can't do other things.

GLENN: That's why you have to learn how to injure yourself.

You know, how many stairs can I throw myself down, to not do serious damage, but enough to get me out of PE.

STU: Yeah, you have to fake an why are. You have to learn from LeBron James. Act like you got hit in the eye. And fall down like you were just stabbed over and over again, like you were in an athletic competition.

GLENN: There's no way. There's no way.

Claire's warning: The dark side of gender care EXPOSED

Claire Abernathy was just 14-years-old when doctors told her parents she’d take her own life without hormones and surgery. They promised “gender care” would save her life. Instead, it left Claire with irreversible scars, broken trust, and a lifetime of regret. Her mom was told she was required to comply. No one ever addressed the bullying, or trauma Claire endured before being rushed into medical transition. Now, years later, both Claire and her mother are speaking out and exposing how families are misled, how doctors hide risks, and how children are left to pay the price. With federal investigations now underway, their story is a warning every parent needs to hear.
